the US govt to offer free emails with cyber warnings and alerts about
internet viruses and internet attacks.

great. so the UKS taxpayers' money is used by the govt to offer free
support to, among others, the world's largest monopoly which largely
created such vulnerable software to boot.

interestingly, this also brings the US govt and companies like M$ into
conflict, which has its own often slower way of dealing with a
vulnerability. this issue could soon crystallize i hope, into the US
demanding 'transparancy' on source-code to identify and help resolve
issues.

so many different approaches in computing converge on one thing: the
need of the hour for opensource, and so often, muft and mukt software.
